First Wannon Remote Campground
Overview
First Wannon Remote Campground is a tucked-away bush camp perched high on the Major Mitchell Plateau in the Grampians National Park. Designed for walkers taking on the overnight hike across the plateau, this site sits at the headwaters of First Wannon Creek and is surrounded by sub-alpine bushland and stunted eucalypts. The camps remote location, more than 1000 metres above sea level and far from any roads, means youll likely share your stay with native wildlife like Peregrine Falcons and Black Footed Swamp Wallabies, rather than crowds.
With sweeping views across the Mt William and Serra Ranges, First Wannon is a spot for those who appreciate a sense of adventure and self-sufficiency. Facilities are basic - a single drop toilet and space for up to 16 hikers - so campers need to be well-prepared for the elements and bring everything they need. Its a peaceful place to rest between long stretches of the trail, soak up the scenery, and spot the autumn-flowering Banksia saxicola.
